  • This Paper Presents a new measurement technique to derive the level of BSRC (Basic Science and Research Capacity) index by use of the factor analysis which is extended with the assumption of the standard normal probability distribution of the selected explanatory variables. The new measurement method is used to forecast the gap of Korea's BSRC level compared with those of major OECD countries in terms of time lag and to make their international comparison during the time period of 1981∼1999, based on the assumption that the BSRC progress function of each country takes the form of the logistic curve. The US BSRC index is estimated to be 0.9878 in 1981, 0.9996 in 1990 and 0.99991 in 1999, taking the 1st place. The US BSRC level has been consistently the top among the 16 selected variables, followed by Japan, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, in order. Korea's BSRC is estimated to be 0.2293 in 1981, taking the lowest place among the 16 OECD countries. However, Korea's BSRC indices are estimated to have been increased to 0.3216 (in 1990) and 0.44652 (in 1999) respectively, taking 10th place. Meanwhile, Korea's BSRC level in 1999 (0.44652) is estimated to reach those of the US and Japan in 2233 and 2101, respectively. This means that Korea falls 234 years behind USA and 102 years behind Japan, respectively. Korea is also estimated to lag 34 years behind Germany, 16 years behind France and the UK, 15 years behind Sweden, 11 years behind Canada, 7 years behind Finland, and 5 years behind the Netherlands. For the period of 1981∼1999, the BSRC development speed of the US is estimated to be 0.29700. Its rank is the top among the selected OECD countries, followed by Japan (0.12800), Korea (0.04443), and Germany (0.04029). the US BSRC development speed (0.2970) is estimated to be 2.3 times higher than that of Japan (0.1280), and 6.7 times higher than that of Korea. German BSRC development speed (0.04029) is estimated to be fastest in Europe, but it is 7.4 times slower than that of the US. The estimated BSRC development speeds of Belgium, Finland, Italy, Denmark and the UK stand between 0.01 and 0.02, which are very slow. Particularly, the BSRC development speed of Spain is estimated to be minus 0.0065, staying at the almost same level of BSRC over time (1981 ∼ 1999). Since Korea shows BSRC development speed much slower than those of the US and Japan but relative]y faster than those of other countries, the gaps in BSRC level between Korea and the other countries may get considerably narrower or even Korea will surpass possibly several countries in BSRC level, as time goes by. Korea's BSRC level had taken 10th place till 1993. However, it is estimated to be 6th place in 2010 by catching up the UK, Sweden, Finland and Holland, and 4th place in 2020 by catching up France and Canada. The empirical results are consistent with OECD (2001a)'s computation that Korea had the highest R&D expenditures growth during 1991∼1999 among all OECD countries ; and the value-added of ICT industries in total business sectors value added is 12% in Korea, but only 8% in Japan. And OECD (2001b) observed that Korea, together with the US, Sweden, and Finland, are already the four most knowledge-based countries. Hence, the rank of the knowledge-based country was measured by investment in knowledge which is defined as public and private spending on higher education, expenditures on R&D and investment in software.

  • 담석은 담도계의 가장 흔한 질환으로 최근 우리나라에서 콜레스테롤 담석의 비율이 증가하고 있으며 그 대표적인 위험인자로는 연령, 여성, 비만 등이 거론되고 있다. 본 연구는 건강검진자를 대상으로 최근 3년간의 담석의 유병률 및 위험인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 2011년 1월에서 2013년 12월까지 대구지역 종합검진전문병원에서 건강검진을 받은 4,696명을 대상으로 성별과 연령별 분표를 조사하고 키와 몸무게, 공복혈당과 간기능 및 기본 지질 검사를 하였고, 초음파 검사를 통해 담낭의 담석을 진단하였다. 체질량 지수에 따라 저체중, 정상체중, 과다체중, 비만 집단으로 나누었고, 공복혈당 수치는 미국 당뇨 협회에서 제시한 당뇨병의 진단 기준에 따라 분류하였다. 간기능 수치는 본원에서 사용하는 간기능 정상치를 참조하여 대상군을 나누고 지질 수치는 NCEP APTIII에 따라 분류하였다. 분석결과 담석이 발견된 경우는 148명(3.15%)으로 남자 84명(1.79%), 여자 64명(1.36%)으로 남자에서 더 높았으나 성별 간 유병률은 차이는 없었다. 연령별 유병률은 40대 이하 1.84%, 40대 3.38%, 50대 이상 4.66%로 담석이 없는 집단에 비해서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.003). 또한 담낭 담석으로 판명된 대상자의 신체검사 상 고지혈분류 항목에서 비정상군은 Total-cholesterol 52명으로 가장 많았고, LDL-cholesterol 39명, Triglyceride가 36명, HDL-cholesterol 19명이였다. 단변량 분석을 시행한 결과 연령, 공복혈당, 체질량지수는 담석의 유병률과 의미 있는 상관관계를 보였고, 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석에서도 연령, 체질량지수가 담석증의 독립적인 위험인자로 선정되었다. 결론적으로 비록 담석이 대사증후군과의 관계에서 나타나지 않았지만 이를 규명하기 위해서는 건강검진 대상자뿐만 아니라 일반 국민을 대상으로 한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

  • The medical care insurance system, being put into practice nearly for three years, seem to have brought about some considerable problems as serious for the government as to consider a revision of that system. As one of the most serious problems of present system, the treatment cost of insurance patients is so remarkably low in comparison with than of non-insurance cases that normal operation of hospitals is threatened and care services of low quality are induced. The researcher carried out this survey to analyze and bring to light several aspects of treatment cost of non-insurance patients as a material for a re-assessment of the cost of insurance cases which shows a a considerable difference in amount at the standpoint of hospitals with than of non-insurance cases and further, hoping the significant blind spot of present insurance system(that is, the absence of regulations' for cost assessment by patterns or types of health care treatment) will be mended in near future. The survey was carried out with the treatment invoice sheets of total 902 in-hospital Patients of a general hospital in Seoul during the period of the 2 nd quarter of the year(1979). Among total 902 patients, 694 cases were used for analysis, because those disease or syndromes shared by less than 10% of the patients were put aside before procession. The data were analyzed by kinds or types of diseases, demographic characteristics of patients, hospitalization patterns, types of nursing treatment, etc. The result of analysis was as follows 1. Among all the non-insurance cases, those who received one or more kinds of nursing treatment mounted up to 96. 7 %. The invoice issue frequency per person was 7.2 times, while that frequency per day for a person was 0.8, : the treatment cosr per person was ₩22,650 while its daily average was ₩2,430, due to the average 9.3 in-hospital days per person. 2. As to the nursing treatment types by the demographic characteristics of patients and hospitalization patterns. a. The unit cost female patients was generally more expensive them that of males, and independent nursing service was more given than other types of treatment. As to age, higher age groups received independent nursing service most, while the youngest group received instrumental and integrated nursing services. b. As to room grade, the unit cost of I.C.U. cases was the highest : and the cast of private room patients was higher than that of public room patients. By in-hospital days, the curve of function showed L. type : that is, the longer stay, the lower function. 3. State of treatment types by kinds of disease were ; a. Dependent nursing service showed comparatively high availability in surgical and neurologic disease and independent nursing service was most received by medical, obstetrical and urological patients, while instrumental and integrated services were most available for respiratory disease and obstetrical and neurologic diseases next. b. The invoice issue frequency per day for a patient was highest in obstetrical disease 3.8 times, and the unit cost(per one invoice sheet) was also highest in obstertrical disease(₩10,880) and next in neurologic cases(₩ 4,690 ). 4. As to the pertained departments. a. Cost amount per person was highest in department of Psychiatries daily cost was highest in obstetrical cases : while the invoice issue frequency was highest in obstetrics and next in pediatrics. b. In departments in need of surgical operation, dependent nursing care was highly availabl : while in internal medicine and obstetrics, independent service was higher. Psychiatrics showed the highest the of integrate nursing while pediatrics and obstetrics higher of instrumental services. The variation co-efficien of treatment cost came out to be relatively in high in special surgery, opthalmology and internal medicine. 5. State of treatment cost by types of nursing behavior was. a. The average frequency of invoice issue was 3.5 (times). Among the type four types of treatment, instrumetal service (4.3) and independent nursing behavior(3.9) showed higher frequency than average respectively. But as to unit cost (per invoice). dependent (₩5,200) and integrated (₩5,340) nursing care services were higher than average and considerably higher than the other two types. b. In repect patient distribution. independent nursing behavior(80.3% ) was the highest and depend ent nursing (31.7% ) the lowest. The variation co-efficient of treatment cost appeared highest in dependent nursing be havior as a whole, and among that, doctor's diagnosis showed the highest coefficient value (100.7). In conclusion, the variaty of treatment cost(treatment itself ) by various characteristics and treatment types pro- that treatment various sort of patients and treatment cost of various types of nursing behavior cannot be uniform. Therefore, to attain the equalization of health care service and its cost both for insurant and non-insurant patients, a more specific provision for assessment of cost should be added to the present medical care insurance system and, in addition, the cost of nursing treatment is desired to be inserted into the treatment invoice.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogen-like environmental endocrine disrupter, on the placental function and reproduction in rats. The mRNA levels of the placental prolactin-growth hormone(PRL-GH) gene family, placental trophoblast cell frequency and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats ($160g{\pm}20g$) were detected by the presence of the copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which marked Day 0 of pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into three groups. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with a sesame oil vehicle. The two remaining groups were injected with 50 or 500 mg/kg B.W/day of BPA, resuspended in sesame oil, on either days 7 to 11 or 16 to 20 of pregnancy, with the rats sacrificed on either day 11 or 20, respectively. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The hormone concentrations were analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the frequency of the placental trophoblast cells observed by a histochemical study. Reproductive data, such as the placental weight and litter size, were surveyed on day 20. The fetal weight was surveyed for 4 weeks after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the PRL-GH gene family, such as placental lactogen I, Iv and II, prolactin like protein A, C and Cv, and decidual prolactin-related protein were significantly reduced due to BPA exposure. The mRNA levels of the Pit-1a and b isotype genes, which induce the expression of the PRL-GH gene family in the rat placenta, were also reduced due to BPA exposure. The PL-Iv and PL-II concentrations were reduced in the BPA exposed group. During the middle to last stage of pregnancy (Days 11-20), a high dose of BPA exposure reduced the frequency of spongiotrophoblast cells, which are responsible for the secretion of the PRL-GH hormones. Reproductive data, such as the placental and fetal weights and the litter size, were reduced, but that of the pregnancy period was extended in the BPA exposed compared to the control group. Conclusions : BPA disrupts the placental functions in rats, which leads to reproductive disorders.

  • Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chromium (VI) on the placental function and reproduction in rats. For the study, the placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) gene expression, placental trophoblast cell differentiation and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats were checked by the presence of a copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which was defined as day 0 of the pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into the three groups. The control group was given tap water (chromium level < 0.001 ppm) and the remaining groups were given 250 or 750 ppm of chromium (VI) [as potassium dichromate], from day 7 to 19 of the pregnancy. Rats were sacrificed at days 11 and 20 of pregnancy. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hormonal concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the differentiation of placental trophoblast cells were observed by histochemical studies. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, pregnancy period, and litter size, were surveyed at day 20 of pregnancy and after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family of genes were dose dependently reduced by chromium exposure. The mRNA levels of Pit-1a and b isotype genes that induce the expression of the PRL-GH family of genes were also reduced by chromium exposure. The PRL-GH hormonal concentration in the rat placenta, fetus and maternal blood were decreased by chromium exposure. In the middle stage of pregnancy (day 11), a high dose of chromium suppressed the differentiation of spongiotrophoblast cells that secret the PRLGH hormones. In the last stage of pregnancy (day 20), a high dose of chromium induced apoptosis of placental cells. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, litter size, were reduced, but the pregnancy period was extended in the group exposed to chromium compared with the controls. Conclusion : Chromium (VI) disrupts the ordered functions of the placenta, which leads to reproductive disorders in rats.

  • 오늘날, 산림자원은 생물종 다양성과 관광 및 휴양을 위한 중요한 자원으로 대두되고 있다. 사찰림은 우리나라 산림의 1.3%를 차지하고 자연생태가 매우 양호하나, 관리가 미비한 실정이다. 근래 불교계 내부에서는 사찰림의 지속가능한 관리에 기여하면서 산림에 대한 사회적 요구에 부응할 수 있는 활용대안으로서 불교수목원이 크게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 불교수목원의 조성방안을 제시하기 위하여 사찰림 관리자 105명과 일반인 130명에 대한 인식조사를 수행하였다. 조사결과를 요약하면 불교수목원을 통해 사찰림 관리자는 불교문화 홍보와 사찰의 이미지 향상에 대한 관심이 더 높고, 일반인은 휴양과 교육에 대한 기대가 더 높다는 점에서 차이점이 있다. 그러나 두 집단 모두 전통사찰의 유산가치 보존과 사찰림 관리를 중요하게 생각한다는 점에서 유사하다. 특히, 두 집단 모두 불교수목원의 필요성을 시급성보다 높게 평가하고 있으며, 사찰림 관리를 가장 중요한 기능으로 인식하고 있었다. 또한 두 집단 모두 불교수목원은 배타적이지 않은 이용을 도모하고 사찰지역의 자연생태적 특성을 감안하여 조성되어야 한다고 생각하고 있었다. 중요 결과를 바탕으로 다음과 같은 불교수목원의 계획방안이 제시되었다. 첫째, 불교수목원은 장기적 관점에서 추진하면서 불교 내부 구성원의 공감대 형성과 일반인에 대한 교육 및 홍보를 진행하여야 한다. 둘째, 사찰림 보전을 가장 중요한 기능으로 설정하며, 이와 함께 휴양과 교육기능을 강조하여야 한다. 셋째, 배타적이지 않은 이용을 도모하기 위해서 불교수목원은 다양한 계층의 이용자들에게 적용될 수 있는 혼합프로그램을 개발하여 이용 만족을 높이고 교육효과를 달성하여야 한다. 넷째, 불교경전 식물 등 불교와 관련있는 식물을 통해 불교적 정체성이 있는 수목원을 조성하도록 한다. 다섯째, 식물수집에 있어서도 사찰의 이미지와 자원특징을 중심으로 하여 기존 사찰림의 보존 및 관리에 기여하도록 하여야 한다. 따라서 불교수목원은 보존 수집형 수목원과 전시 교육 휴양형 수목원의 두 가지 유형으로 구분될 수 있다.

  • 최근 페이스북이 오픈 플랫폼을 통해 다면시장을 형성함으로써 게임 분야에 소셜이 본격적으로 등장하기 시작하였다. 그중 가장 크게 주목을 받고 있는 분야는 소셜 네트워크를 기반으로 발전한 SNG 분야이다. SNG란 Social Network Game으로 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service)의 인맥 관계를 기반으로 제작한 게임을 말한다. SNG의 가장 큰 특징은 게임 실력보다는 네트워크를 통해 이루어진 이웃간의 교류가 게임의 가장 큰 요소로 작용하는 것이다. 이러한 소셜 네트워크 게임의 빠른 성장과 함께 연구되어야할 분야는 인간과 인간, 인간과 게임, 게임과 게임 간의 소통이라 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 SNG을 플레이하는 유저들의 심리가 소셜을 기반으로 하는 게임 속 캐릭터에 어떠한 영양을 미치는지에 대한 것을 알아보고자 한다. 연구방식은 성격 특성의 상관관계를 검증하는 방식으로 심리학적 성격 5요인 특성(Big Five Factor Model)과 리커트(likert) 척도를 사용하여 유저가 생성한 캐릭터와 성격 5요인 특성을 대입하는 방식을 사용 하였다. 본 논문을 통해 게임을 플레이하는 유저들의 심리상태를 파악하는 방식이 연구되어짐으로써 미래의 소셜 네트워크 게임이 어떠한 방향으로 발전해 나갈 것인지에 대한 준거점 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • In terms of element and process, art today has already been fully systemized, yet tends to become even more systemized. All phases of creation and exhibition, appreciation and education, promotion and marketing are planned, adjusted, and decided within the order of a globalized, networked system. Each phase is executed, depending on the system of management and control and diverse means corresponding to the system. From the step of education, artists are guided to determine their styles and not be motivated by their desire to become star artists or running counter to mainstream tendency and fashion. In the process of planning an exhibition, the level of artist awareness is considered more significant than work quality. It is impossible to avoid such systems and institutions today. No one can escape or be freed from the influence of such system. This discussion addresses a serious distortion in the selection system as part of the system connotatively called "art museum system," especially to evaluate artistic achievement and aesthetic quality. Called "studio system" or "art star system," the system distinguishes successful minority from failed absolute majority and justifies the results, deciding discriminative compensations. The discussion begins from work by Hunter Jonakin and Dan Perjovschi. The key point of this discussion is not their art worlds but the shared truth referred by the two as the collusive "art market" and "art star system." Through works based on their experiences, the two artists refer to these systems which restrict and confine them. Jonakin's Jeff Koons Must Die! is avideo game conveying a critical comment on authoritative operation of the museum system and star system. In this work, participants, whether viewer or artist, are destined to lose: the game is unwinnable. Players take the role of a person locked in a museum where artist Jeff Koons' retrospective is held. The player can either look around and quietly observe the works, which causes a game-over, or he can blow the classical paintings to pieces and cause the artist Koons to come out and reprimand the player, also resulting in a game-over. Like Jonakin, Dan Perjovschi's some drawings also focuses on the status of the artist shrunken by the system. Most artists are ruined in a process of competition to survive within the museum system. As John Burger properly pointed out, out of the art systems today, public collections (art museums) and private collections have become "something unbearable." The system justifies the selection system of art stars and its frame of reference, disregarding the problem of producing numerable victims in its process. What should be underlined above all else is that the present selection system seriously shrinks art's creative function and its function of generating meaning. In this situation, art might fall to the level of entertainment, accessible to more people and compromising with popularity. This discussion is based on assumption and consciousness on the matter that this situation might cause catastrophic results for not only explicit victims of the system but also winners, or ones defined as winners. The system of art is probably possible only by desire or distortion stemmed from such desire. The system can be flourished only under the economic system of avarice: quantitatively expanding economy, abundant style, resort economy in Venice and Miami, and luxurious shopping malls with up-to-date facilities. The catastrophe here is ongoing, not a sudden emergence, and dynamic, leading the system itself to a devastating end.

  • 목적: 구면수차를 감소시키기 위해 설계된 비구면 소프트콘택트렌즈를 착용시킨 후 눈에서 변화된 고위수차와 구면수차를 분석하였다. 방법: 50명의 소프트 콘택트렌즈 착용자가 연구에 참여하였으며 SDD(Soflens Daily Disposable, Bausch+Lomb) 비구면 렌즈를 착용시킨 후 Wave-Scan Wavefront$^{TM}$ aberrometer (VISX, Santa Clara, CA, USA)를 이용하여 눈 전체의 고위수차와 구면수차를 4 mm의 동공크기를 기준으로 측정하였고, 구면수차 변화량은 착용한 비구면 렌즈의 약도, 중도, 고도의 도수에 따라 비교, 분석하였다. 밝은 조명(photopic)과 어두운(mesopic) 조명상태에서 대비도를 가지는 시력표(100%와 20%)를 이용하여 시력 검사를 하였고 OPTEC 6500 Vision Tester$^{(R)}$(Stereo Optical Co., Inc., Chicago, USA)를 사용하여 밝은 조명(photopic)과 어두운(mesopic)조명 상태의 대비감도를 각각 측정하였다. 모든 측정은 산동 시키지 않은 상태에서 단안으로 시행하였다. 결과: SDD 비구면 렌즈를 착용한 경우 눈의 전체고위수차는 나안 상태보다 유의하게 감소하였고(p<0.001), 구면수차는 상당히 감소하여 0에 근접하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.001). SDD 렌즈 도수에 따라 전체고위수차 변화량(r= 0.237, p=0.018)과 구면수차 변화량(r=0.324, p=0.001)은 유의한 상관관계가 나타났다. 밝은 조명상태에서 100% 및 20% 대비도 시력은 각각 $-0.063{\pm}0.062$$0.119{\pm}0.060$으로 나타났고, 어두운 조명상태에서 100% 및 20% 대비도 시력은 $-0.003{\pm}0.063$$0.198{\pm}0.067$으로 측정되었다. 밝은 조명상태와 어두운 조명상태에서 대비감도는 각각 $3.095{\pm}0.068$$3.087{\pm}0.074$로 나타났다. 결론: 구면수차를 제어한 비구면 디자인의 소프렌 소프트렌즈(SDD)는 눈의 전체 고위수차와 구면수차를 감소시키고 눈의 구면수차를 보정하면서 시력의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
