Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the role performance and related factors of clinical research nurses (CRN) in the process of clinical trials of new drug development. Methods: Study participants were CRN whose affiliation was in non-capital areas and who had been working longer than three months at the time of the data collection. The data collection was conducted with a semi-structured questionnaire development by Hwang & Go, 2011 comprising 16 items of participants' characteristics and 60 items of role performance via in-person and online. Additionally, opinions which would be necessary to establish the CRN role were questioned for the future. A total of 141 questionnaires of 151 questionnaires responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA for data analysis as appropriate. Results: The level of overall role performance was above average (5.61±0.90) with the highest in subject care (6.04 ± 0.96) and management and the lowest in self-development (4.39 ± 1.52). The only factor affecting overall role performance was employment status and the only sub-category affected by factors of employment status, and some general characteristics was self-development. Conclusion: From study results, it can be concluded that the CRN seem to perform their proper role. Nonetheless, self-development should be considered as critical aspect for better CRN competency, which is an important aspect toward improving the CRN role performance. Additionally, efforts to improve the level of role performance must be established through stable employment and concrete departmental placement as suggested in this study.

Statement of problem. In the partially edentulous patients, removable partial dentures have been working as a important treatment modality. Clasps, a kind of direct retainers, received some amount of stresses during the insertion and removal of partial denture on the abutment tooth. Purpose. The study is to investigate stresses of the different clasps. Material and methods. In order to investigate the degree of stresses, maxillary partial edentulism (Kennedy Class II modification I) was assumed and removable partial dentures were designed on it with three kinds of metallic materials; cobalt-chromium alloy, type IV gold alloy and commercially pure (c.p.) titanium. Aker's clasp was applied on the left second molar. RPA (mesial rest-proximal plate-Aker's) clasp was on the left first premolar and wrought wire clasp was on the right first premolar. Three dimensional, non-linear, dynamic finite element analysis method was run to solve this process. Results. 1. Cobalt-chromium alloy had the highest von Mises stress value and c.p. titanium had the lowest one irrespective of the types of clasps. 2. In the Aker's clasps, stress on the retentive tips was shown shortly after the appearance of stresses of the middle and minor connector areas. These time lag was much shorter in the RPA clasps than in the Aker's clasp. 3. In general. retentive tips of wrought wire clasps had much less amount of stress than other clasps. Conclusion. The amount of stress was the highest in the RPA clasp and the lowest in the wrought wire clasp, in general.

The purpose of this paper is to extensively review the condition monitoring (CM) techniques using empirical models in an effort to reduce or eliminate unexpected downtimes in general industry, and to illustrate the feasibility of applying them to the nuclear industry. CM provides on-time warnings of system states to enable the optimal scheduling of maintenance and, ultimately, plant uptime is maximized. Currently, most maintenance processes tend to be either reactive, or part of scheduled, or preventive maintenance. Such maintenance is being increasingly reported as a poor practice for two reasons: first, the component does not necessarily require maintenance, thus the maintenance cost is wasted, and secondly, failure catalysts are introduced into properly working components, which is worse. This paper first summarizes the technical aspects of CM including state estimation and state monitoring. The mathematical background of CM is mature enough even for commercial use in the nuclear industry. Considering the current computational capabilities of CM, its application is not limited by technical difficulties, but by a lack of desire on the part of industry to implement it. For practical applications in the nuclear industry, it may be more important to clarify and quantify the negative impact of unexpected outcomes or failures in CM than it is to investigate its advantages. In other words, while issues regarding accuracy have been targeted to date, the concerns regarding robustness should now be concentrated on. Standardizing the anticipated failures and the possibly harsh operating conditions, and then evaluating the impact of the proposed CM under those conditions may be necessary. In order to make the CM techniques practical for the nuclear industry in the future, it is recommended that a prototype CM system be applied to a secondary system in which most of the components are non-safety grade. Recently, many activities to enhance the safety and efficiency of the secondary system have been encouraged. With the application of CM to nuclear power plants, it is expected to increase profit while addressing safety and economic issues.

Although fake news has been present in human history at any time, nowadays, with social media, deceptive information has a stronger effect on society than before. This article answers two research questions, namely (1) Is the dissemination of fake news supported by machines through the automatic construction of filter bubbles, and (2) Are echo chambers of fake news manmade, and if yes, what are the information behavior patterns of those individuals reacting to fake news? We discuss the role of filter bubbles by analyzing social media's ranking and results' presentation algorithms. To understand the roles of individuals in the process of making and cultivating echo chambers, we empirically study the effects of fake news on the information behavior of the audience, while working with a case study, applying quantitative and qualitative content analysis of online comments and replies (on a blog and on Reddit). Indeed, we found hints on filter bubbles; however, they are fed by the users' information behavior and only amplify users' behavioral patterns. Reading fake news and eventually drafting a comment or a reply may be the result of users' selective exposure to information leading to a confirmation bias; i.e. users prefer news (including fake news) fitting their pre-existing opinions. However, it is not possible to explain all information behavior patterns following fake news with the theory of selective exposure, but with a variety of further individual cognitive structures, such as non-argumentative or off-topic behavior, denial, moral outrage, meta-comments, insults, satire, and creation of a new rumor.

Purpose: This study aims to develop a cost model for NRP (Nursing Residency Program) operation and ultimately provide evidence for financial factors for NRP operation in the future by simulating a cost model. Methodology: This study developed a model for the NRP education cost calculation model based on the review of Hansen's model, which has systematically reported on the development and operation of NRP, and discussions with nursing education experts at a university-affiliated hospital. With the simulation, it was intended to predict nurses' supply and demand in the long term and to calculate changes in long-term education costs. Findings: Firstly, turnover model, term model, cost model necessary for calculating a model for the NRP education cost calculation model was set up. Secondly, the simulation showed the following results; 1) the proportion of newly graduated nurses less than 5 years of working decreases gradually over time, which will make the composition of nurses more balanced. 2) In the first year of the partial introduction of NRP, the cost of training new nurses was about 2.1 times higher than before. After the introduction, the training cost in the 13th year began to be lesser than before the introduction, and in the 25th year, it decreased by 28.1% compared to before the introduction. Practical Implications: Firstly, NRP would be an effective way to solve the higher turnover and frequent departure of new nurses and the imbalance of nurses' composition. Secondly, although the costs of NRP are incurred in the early stages, in the end, NRP training costs are reduced compared to before the introduction of NRP. It is necessary to systematically understand the contribution effect of NRP by analyzing the economic value of NRP considering financial and non-monetary returns in the future and providing a basis for decision-making related to NRP implementation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the diffusion period and productivity of smartwork in an organization. Firms are increasingly interested in smartwork for non contact work and working from home because of the corona 19. The smartwork is a new technology that changes face-to-face work in an organization. It helps the work of individuals and organizations regardless of time and place. The theoretical background describes the complexity, system thinking, diffusion theory, smart work, organizational resistance, and productivity. This study analyzes the diffusion period and productivity of smart work through business simulation techniques. A simulation study progresses four stages. There are problem definition, hypothesis establishment and causal loop diagram, model construction and verification, and policy evaluation. The simulation models contain an individual's resistance variables organizational investment and leadership variables related to the operation of smartwork. The organizational investment variables include organizational culture, legal system, implement systems and technology investment. The individual resistance variables include cognitive, attitude, structure and technological resistance. The leadership includes leadership interest variables and performance linkage variables. The simulation executed the changes of a people number adopting smart work and the organizational productivity monthly. As a result of the simulation, many organization members have accepted the smart work innovation after 20 months. The organizational productivity through smart work showed very high value after 16 months. In scenario analysis, the individuals' awareness and attitude resistance showed very important variables to productivity and a personal change of smart work adoption. Meanwhile, The organizational investment showed that the high driving-force increased not productivity and the low driving-force showed decreased low productivity. Also, leadership variables showed a powerful driver for changing smart work productivity. The implication of the study has suggested extending complexity, diffusion theory and organization resistance theory based on simulation methods.

본 연구는 자신의 고향이 떠나 이주를 경험한 구약성서의 여성들(하갈, 다말, 라합, 룻, 수넴에 사는 귀한 여성, 이름없는 어린 여종)을 중심으로 현재를 살아가는 다문화사회에서 적용할 가치를 찾는 것이다. 이들이 각각 등장하는 성서본문은 다양한 상황과 배경임에도 불구하고 주로 가정 안에서 여성의 역할을 강화하는 목적으로 사용되어 온 것에 대해 비판한다. 이주의 관점으로 여성신학적 비평, 이야기 비평, 독자반응비평 등을 적용하여 새로운 해석을 도출하였다. 당시 여성에게 제약이 많은 가부장적 사회에서 서로 배경과 상황이 달랐음에도 불구하고 6명의 이주여성 모두는 자신의 긍정적인 역할을 통해 주변과 평화적인 관계를 만들어낸 사례로 소개했다. 이는 인종, 성, 계급이라고 하는 이주민과 비이주민, 여성과 남성, 경제적 차이를 인정하되 이를 차별의 도구로 사용하지 않도록 제안한다. 또한 이들 성서의 여성들을 통해 주체적이며 사회 정의와 평화를 위해 노력하는 역할 모델로서의 가능성도 발견할 수 있다.

본 연구는 자동차 공장의 혼류생산을 위한 자동창고시스템에서 저장과 반출 작업을 수행하는 트윈크레인 간 협업(Handshake) 위치 시뮬레이션 분석을 수행한다. Handshake 운영은 트윈크레인의 작업영역 구분을 통해 경로 간섭과 각 크레인의 이동 거리를 개선한다. 그러나 Handshake 위치로 구분된 작업영역 간 부품 이송을 위해 Handshake 위치에서 추가적인 부품 적재와 하역 작업이 발생한다. 그러므로 저장 및 반출 요청 응답시간을 개선하기 위한 효과적인 Handshake 위치 결정이 필요하다. 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 최적 Handshake 위치를 결정하였으며 평균 입고 요청 응답시간이 87% 개선됨을 확인하였다.
